iTunes offers some new features for iPod Shuffle

The third generation iPod Shuffle has a polished steel attachment clip.

The product was launched on September 5, 2007, at an event called The Beat Goes

On. The iPod Touch and the iphone, a smartphone by Apple Inc., share the same hardware platform and run the same iOS

operating system. The iPod Touch lacks some of the

iPhone's features and associated apps, such as

access to cellular networks (and speaker on older models).

As a result, the iPod Touch is slimmer and lighter than the iphone. Multimedia, which is

available as a single "iPod" app on the iphone, is split into

music and movies on the iPod Touch. Steve Jobs once

referred to the iPod Touch as "training wheels for the

iphone“.

•The first public demonstration was on the BBC TV program Tomorrow's World when The Bee Gees' album Living Eyes (1981)
